The Chosen Hearts

We are all loving this BEAUTIFUL Fall weather here in Illinois. The crops have come out of the fields and we can now see for miles. We enjoyed camping this past weekend with friends. The boys(Dexter and they have two) all get along so well together. We had our homestudy meeting with our social worker from Illini Christian Ministries on Monday. She was very nice and will be wonderful to work with. She also went ahead and wrote up Dexter's last post adoption report that is due the end of this year, so that is one less thing we will have to do. She will basically just update a few things in our previous homestudy and add in that we now have Dexter. We received notice that our paperwork has been received by USCIS which is immigration and they are on hold until our homestudy is completed. Also, have sent in background clearance forms and are working on getting fingers prints.

Today Dexter had a Rodeo Roundup at school. He had to make a stick horse and dress in his western wear. The teachers had about 12 stations set up for the kids to rotate from including line dancing, petting zoo, snacks station, etc. I actually had today off so it was great to be able to go and have fun with Dexter at a school events. As for the adoption paperwork, we have started with paperwork needed for our dossier. Our immigration forms were sent off with us now waiting for clearance to begin fingerprinting. Our homestudy social worker will be meeting with us in a couple of weeks.
